I’m concerned about the amount of milk my Lo is getting. I have never had an abundant milk supply but he gained while I exclusively breastfed so I just assumed all was good. He’s been having solids since he was just shy of 6 months per my doctor- and he is approaching 8 months now. He absolutely loves food, purée or our own food softened and cut up... I was reading that he should be getting 24 oz of milk still and I highly doubt that is the case; I’d guess we are closer to 18-20. I just pumped after 5 hours and only got 3 oz. He still nurses anywhere between 6-8 times a day (twice at night). I can only assume that he is satisfied because of the solids he is getting. I start school in less than 2 weeks and I am frustrated because I really wanted to make it the whole year without having to supplement. I don’t even know what I’m looking for? Maybe some input as to whether what we have going on right now is ok or if he should be getting some formula bottles?

@rachel1029, Yeah don’t go by the pump. Different pumps produce different amounts and even something like massage will get more milk. The more solid food your baby eats the less milk is being consumed and your body adjusts accordingly. However the composition of your milk changes and even though you may be producing less it’ll have a higher fat content.

Exactly what @tapwater said! My son is almost 7 months and ebf. He’s a pretty chunky guy yet when I pump I only get about an ounce combined. Some women just don’t do well with a pump. If you’re planning on being away I’d continue to pump but also buy some back up formula in case he needs it while you’re gone. Remember to have whoever’s with him pacefeed!

Baby always does better at the breast than the pump does. Your LO is very likely getting enough milk when he nurses. 👍🏻
